When I take photo the screen displays "error message". What does this mean other than not having saved my shot? Is this simple to rectify or has my camera had it?

If there is error message on the display and blinking flash, try to initialize the camera. If the problem persists or there is no error message, there is probably no user solution, camera will have to be repaired by service personnel.

E:61:00 means "Difficult to adjust focus Inspect the lens block focus reset sensor"
The simple solution to fix that error message was to the let the lens fully extend and give the lens a good whack. Possibly this error message for this means, that the auto focus motor was past the maximum set point.
goodluck
and do rate the solution if helped

Did you take the card and insert into computer/device to view photos?

Viewing photos can alter the format of the photos thereby preventing your camera from reading them.

I viewed some photos and rotated a few photos and my camera no longer recognizes the format.

good luck

The camera will not display photos that have been edited by something else. Rotating counts as editing. Just opening a photo and then saving it without doing anything else counts as editing.

An '0x ...' Error Message Displays on the Front Panel When Printing

hello ,
when i start my sony ericsson k 550i cyber shot a message is displayed on the screen that, "configuration error. please contact your network operator or service centre.

This may be a very simple problem.

Set the function dial to playback (the box with an arrow inside).

Adjacent to the top right of the LCD screen is a button with a graphic next to it of a box with two vertical lines either side. Each time you press it it alters the amount of onscreen display information and it can also turn off the screen to save battery life The latter is useless in playback mode, but very useful when taking photos if you always use the optical viewfinder as I do.

The Canon support site is the place to go for that if your Manual does not tell you.
However remove the software and reload it - it may be as simple as that.

The E18 error is fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension.

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. Have already fixed several cameras with this problem by using these methods:
